Front Lower Control Arm Set for 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy Outback

In this review the author looks at the TRQ two-piece front lower control arm kit designed specifically for 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy and Outback models. The bottom line: this is a straightforward, direct fit OE replacement that replaces both driver and passenger lower control arms complete with ball joints, and it is best for DIYers or repair shops wanting a full lower-arm swap in one purchase. The review finds the kit delivers predictable fit and function while offering clear vehicle-specific reference numbers to confirm compatibility.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match OE geometry so installation follows factory mounting points with minimal adjustment.
• Complete Kit: Includes both front driver and passenger side lower control arms with ball joints so both sides can be replaced at once for consistent handling.
• OE Replacement: Built as an OE replacement with shared reference numbers to help verify correct fit for 2010-14 Subaru Legacy and Outback models.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Listing includes fitment check information and multiple reference numbers so buyers can confirm compatibility before ordering.
• Aftermarket References: Supported by a long list of aftermarket and OE reference numbers, useful for cross-referencing during parts sourcing.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for Subaru owners and independent mechanics who need to replace both front lower control arms on 2010-2014 Legacy or Outback vehicles and prefer a matched-pair solution with ball joints already installed. It suits those who value direct-fit parts that reduce installation time and alignment complexity.

It is less appropriate for owners of different model years or non-Subaru vehicles unless cross-referenced by the provided OE numbers, and buyers who need a single-arm repair rather than a matched pair should look for single-side options instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit and finish reported by users, helping the parts bolt into place with little modification.
• Full two-piece kit with ball joints included simplifies a two-side suspension service.
• Strong value for money compared with buying OEM single arms separately.

Cons

• Some customer comments flag concerns about long-term durability of ball joints, so buyers should inspect and torque to spec after installation.
